Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a message distribution method, a radio base station, and a message distribution station which distribute a predetermined message to a mobile station in a distribution area.
In the 3GPP, a framework for distributing a warning message to a specific distribution area on a packet switching network (hereinafter referred to as a warning distribution system) is specified.
Referring toFIG. 6 , the operation of such a warning message distribution system is described.
As shown inFIG. 6 , in step S2001, a flash report transmission station CBE transmits, to a message distribution station CBC, a message distribution request for requesting distribution of a warning message.
In step S2002, the message distribution station CBC determines one or multiple tracking areas (TA), and distribution area information (Warning Area ID), based on distribution target area information contained in the message distribution request.
In step S2003, the message distribution station CBC transmits, to a mobile control apparatus MME corresponding to each tracking area, a message distribution request including the above-mentioned tracking areas and distribution area information.
In step S2004, the mobile control apparatus MME identifies the radio base station eNB belonging to each tracking area contained in the received message distribution request.
In step S2005, the mobile control apparatus MME transmits, to the identified radio base station eNB, a message distribution request including the distribution area information.
In step S2006, the radio base station eNB determines whether the radio base station eNB itself is included in the distribution area for the warning message based on the distribution area information contained in the received message distribution request.
When determining to be included in the distribution area for the warning message, the radio base station eNB distributes the warning message to the mobile stations in the distribution area corresponding to the distribution area information in step S2007, and transmits a warning message transmission acknowledgement which indicates the distribution to the mobile control apparatus MME in step S2008.
In step S2009, the mobile control apparatus MME transfers the warning message transmission acknowledgement received from the radio base station eNB to the message distribution station CBC.
However, in the conventional message distribution system, distribution area information for designating distribution area in a sector unit, and distribution area information for designating distribution area in a broader-area unit (for example, Tokyo Metropolis) cannot coexist.
Accordingly, in the conventional message distribution system, when a distribution area is designated in a sector unit by the distribution area information, and the distribution area is across a broader area, the radio base station eNB needs to perform processing for many pieces of distribution area information, thus there is a problem in that an increase in the processing load on the radio base station eNB and a delay in the distribution of a warning message possibly occur.
Now, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problem, and it is an object of the invention to provide a message distribution method, a radio base station, and a message distribution station that can flexibly designate a unit for the distribution area.
A first aspect of the present invention is summarized as a message distribution method for distributing a predetermined message to a mobile station in a distribution area, including the steps of: (A) determining, at a message distribution station, distribution area information and a distribution type, based on a message distribution request received from a flash report transmission station and containing distribution target area information, and reporting, from the message distribution station to a radio base station, the distribution area information and the distribution; and (B) determining, at the radio base station, the distribution area, based on the distribution area information and the distribution type, and distributing, from the radio base station to the mobile station in the distribution area, the predetermined message.
In the first aspect of the present invention, the step (A) can include the steps of: determining, at the message distribution station, a tracking area, the distribution area information, and the distribution type, based on the message distribution request, and reporting, from the message distribution station to a mobile control apparatus corresponding to the distribution target area, the tracking area, the distribution area information, and the distribution type; and reporting, from the mobile control apparatus to the radio base station belonging to the tracking area, the distribution area information and the distribution type.
In the first aspect of the present invention, the radio base station can manage a table which stores distribution area information and a distribution area in association with each other for each distribution type; and in the step (B), the radio base station can refer to the table corresponding to the distribution type, and distribute the predetermined message to a mobile station in a distribution area associated with the distribution area information.
A second aspect of the present invention is summarized as a radio base station configured to distribute a predetermined message to a mobile station in a distribution area, wherein the radio base station is configured manage a table which stores distribution area information and a distribution area in association with each other for each distribution type; and to refer to the table corresponding to a distribution type reported from a message distribution station, and distribute the predetermined message to a mobile station in a distribution area associated with the distribution area information reported from the message distribution station.
A third aspect of the present invention is summarized as a message distribution station configured to distribute a predetermined message to a mobile station in a distribution area, wherein the message distribution station is configured to determine distribution area information and a distribution type, based on a message distribution request received from a flash report transmission station and containing distribution target area information; and to transmit a message distribution request containing the distribution area information and the distribution type, to a mobile switching center corresponding to the determined distribution area information.
As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to provide a message distribution method, a radio base station, and a message distribution station that can flexibly designate a unit for the distribution area.
(Configuration of Message Distribution System according to First Embodiment of the Present Invention)
The configuration of a message distribution system according to the first embodiment of the present invention is described with reference toFIGS. 1 to 4 .
As shown inFIG. 1 , the message distribution system according to the present embodiment includes a flash report transmission station CBE, a message distribution station CBC, a mobile control apparatus MME, a radio base station eNB, and a mobile station UE.
As shown inFIG. 2 , the radio base station eNB includes asignal processor unit 11, a packet transmitting/receivingIF unit 12, arouting controller unit 13, a distributiontype determining unit 14, adatabase 15, a warningmessage generator unit 16, aradio controller unit 17, and a radio transmitting/receivingIF unit 18.
Thedatabase 15 manages a table which stores distribution area information and distribution area in association with each other for each distribution type.
Thedatabase 15 is configured to send back “preference control” and “distribution area”, which are associated with a distribution type and distribution area information, upon receipt of the distribution type and the distribution area information from thesignal processor unit 11. Here, the “preferential control” shows whether or not a message distribution request should be processed preferentially.
In the example ofFIG. 3 , the “distribution area information” contained in a message distribution request containing the distribution type “A” designates a “distribution area” in a broader-area unit, while the “distribution area information” contained in a message distribution request containing the distribution type “B” designates a “distribution area” in a sector unit.
In addition, in the example ofFIG. 3 , a message distribution request containing the distribution type “A” is processed preferentially, while a message distribution request containing the distribution type “B” is not processed preferentially.
Thesignal processor unit 11 is configured to receive a message distribution request transmitted by the mobile control apparatus MME via the packet transmitting/receivingIF unit 12 and therouting controller unit 13.
Thesignal processor unit 11 is configured to analyze the content of the message distribution request and detect its distribution type. Specifically, thesignal processor unit 11 is configured to detect the distribution type by referring to the distributiontype determining unit 14. Note that the distributiontype determining unit 14 may be included in thesignal processor unit 11.
Moreover, thesignal processor unit 11 searches for the distribution area corresponding to the distribution area information contained in the received message distribution request by referring to the table for the detected distribution type in thedatabase 15.
When a specific distribution area is detected, thesignal processor unit 11 transmits a message distribution request to the warningmessage generator unit 16 along with the detected information about the distribution area.
The warningmessage generator unit 16 converts the warning message contained in the message distribution request to a warning message for the mobile station UE, and transmits the converted warning message to the mobile stations in the above-mentioned distribution area via theradio controller unit 17 and the radio transmitting/receivingIF unit 18. Note that the warningmessage generator unit 16 may be included in thesignal processor unit 11.
It should be noted that thesignal processor unit 11 is configured in such a manner that, when determining that a specific message distribution request should be processed preferentially according to a response from thedatabase 15, thesignal processor unit 11 sends the determination to other functional blocks in the radio base station eNB (for example, the warningmessage generator unit 16, theradio controller unit 17, and the radio transmitting/receiving IF unit18).
As described above, the radio base station eNB is configured to refer to the table corresponding to the distribution type reported from the message distribution station CBC via the mobile control apparatus MME, and to distribute a warning message (predetermined message) to the mobile stations UE in the distribution area which is associated with the distribution area information reported from the message distribution station CBC via the mobile control apparatus MME.
As shown inFIG. 4 , the message distribution station CBC includes asignal processor unit 21, a packet transmitting/receivingIF unit 22, arouting controller unit 23, a distributiontype determining unit 24, adatabase 25, and a warningmessage generator unit 26.
Thesignal processor unit 21 is configured to receive a message distribution request via the packet transmitting/receivingIF unit 22 and therouting controller unit 23, the message distribution request being transmitted by the flash report transmission station CBE.
Thesignal processor unit 21 is configured to analyze the content of the message distribution request and to report information related to generation of a warning message (the warning message type, information on the flash report transmission station of the distribution source, distribution target area information, and the like) to the warningmessage generator unit 26.
The warningmessage generator unit 26 is configured to refer to thedatabase 25 based on the information received from thesignal processor unit 21, and to derive a tracking area and distribution area information.
The distributiontype determining unit 24 may determine the distribution type by receiving, from thesignal processor unit 21, the information transmitted from thesignal processor unit 21 to the warning message generator unit26 (the warning message type, information on the flash report transmission station of the distribution source, distribution target area information, and the like) or the information retrieved from the database to be reported to the warning message generator unit26 (tracking area, distribution area information, and the like).
Note that the distributiontype determining unit 24 may be included in the warningmessage generator unit 26 or in thesignal processor unit 21. Also, the warningmessage generator unit 26 may be included in thesignal processor unit 21.
(Operation of Message Distribution System according to First Embodiment of the Present Invention)
The operation of the message distribution system according to the first embodiment of the present invention is described with reference toFIG. 5 .
As shown inFIG. 5 , in step S1001, the flash report transmission station CBE transmits, to the message distribution station CBC, a message distribution request for requesting distribution of a warning message.
In step S1002, the message distribution station CBC determines one or multiple tracking areas, the distribution area information, and the distribution type, based on the distribution target area information contained in the message distribution request.
Specifically, the message distribution station CBC determines the tracking area and the distribution area information (identifier which identifies the radio area in each radio base station eNB belonging to the tracking area), based on the distribution target area information contained in the message distribution request.
The message distribution station CBC also determines the distribution type indicating the type of distribution area information, based on the information such as the type of distribution target area information.
In step S1003, the message distribution station CBC transmits, to the mobile control apparatus MME corresponding to the tracking areas, a message distribution request containing the above-mentioned tracking areas, distribution area information, and distribution type.
In step S1004, the mobile control apparatus MME identifies the radio base station eNB belonging to the tracking areas contained in the received message distribution request.
In step S1005, the mobile control apparatus MME transmits, to the identified radio base station eNB, a message distribution request containing the distribution area information and the distribution type.
In step S1006, the radio base station eNB refers to the table corresponding to the distribution type contained in the received message distribution request and thus determines the distribution area associated with the distribution area information contained in the message distribution request.
Note that, when the distribution type contained in the received message distribution request is a “predetermined type”, the radio base station eNB may determine any cells or all the cells under control of the radio base station eNB as the distribution area for the warning message.
The radio base station eNB distributes the warning message to the mobile stations in the determined distribution area in step S1007, and transmits a warning message transmission acknowledgement indicating the distribution to the mobile control apparatus MME in step S1008.
Here, the radio base station eNB may be configured to preferentially distribute a warning message according to a message distribution request which is determined to be processed preferentially.
In step S1009, the mobile control apparatus MME forwards the warning message transmission acknowledgement received from the radio base station eNB, to the message distribution station CBC.
(Operations and Effects of Message Distribution System according to First Embodiment of the Present Invention)
According to the message distribution system according to the first embodiment of the present invention, the message distribution station CBC can flexibly switch the unit of distribution area for warning messages on the basis of a combination of a distribution type and distribution area information.
Also, the message distribution system according to the first embodiment of the present invention makes it possible to achieve the preferential control in the radio base station eNB by using a distribution type.
That is to say, for example, when distribution area information is an area type which is used for a warning message with a high urgency, such a warning message can be preferentially processed in the radio base station in distinction from the other processing, such as those on warning messages with a low urgency.
(Modifications)
The message distribution station CBC may determine the distribution type based on information other than the distribution area information. For example, the message distribution station CBC may set a distribution type for each flash report transmission station CBE which is a transmission source of a warning message.
In this case, since a distribution type is specified for each flash report transmission station CBE, the message distribution station CBC does not require a function of determining the distribution type based on the distribution area information, thus high-speed processing can be achieved.
Note that operation of the above described message distribution station CBC, the radio base station eNB, the mobile station UE may be implemented by means of hardware, a software module executed by a processor, or a combination of both.
The software module may be provided in any type of storage medium such as an RAM (Random Access Memory), a flash memory, a ROM (Read Only Memory), an EPROM (Erasable Programmable ROM), an EEPROM (Electronically Erasable and Programmable ROM), a register, a hard disk, a removable disk, or a CD-ROM.
The storage medium is connected to the processor so that the processor can read and write information from and to the storage medium. Also, the storage medium may be integrated into the processor. Also, the storage medium and the processor may be provided in an ASIC. The ASIC may be provided in the message distribution station CBC, the radio base station eNB, the mobile station UE. Also, the storage medium and the processor may be provided in the message distribution station CBC, the radio base station eNB, the mobile station UE as a discrete component.
Hereinabove, the present invention has been described in detail using the above embodiment; however, it is apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described herein. Modifications and variations of the present invention can be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention defined by the description of the scope of claims. Thus, what is described herein is for illustrative purpose, and has no intention whatsoever to limit the present invention.
Claims (2)
1. A warning message distribution method for distributing a warning message to a mobile station (UE) in a distribution area in a mobile communication system defined by the 3GPP, comprising the steps of:
(A) determining, at a message distribution station (CBC), distribution area information and a distribution type, when the message distribution station (CBC) receives a message distribution request containing distribution target area information from a flash report transmission station (CBE), and reporting, from the message distribution station (CBC) to a radio base station (eNB) via a mobile control apparatus (MME), the distribution area information and the distribution type; and
(B) determining, at the radio base station (eNB), the distribution area, based on the reported distribution area information and the distribution type, and distributing, from the radio base station (eNB) to the mobile station (UE) in the distribution area, the warning message, wherein,
in the step (B), the radio base station (eNB) determines whether or not to preferentially distribute the warning message based on the reported distribution type.
2. The message distribution method according toclaim 1 , wherein the step (A) comprises the steps of:
determining, at the message distribution station (CBC), a tracking area, based on the message distribution request, and reporting, from the message distribution station (CBC) to the mobile control apparatus (MME) corresponding to the distribution target area; and
reporting, from the mobile control apparatus (MME) to the radio base station (eNB) belonging to the tracking area, the distribution area information and the distribution type.
